There are several things you can do to your stryker from your
home and cheap. First, I will start with fork caps. Go to your local
truckers Chrome shop and check out the wide selection of lug nut
covers. There are many to choose from but the spiked seem most
popular. I will post pics later and get more ideas out there for you.

Here's a pic
So you will need to dremel the inside out a little and put some silicone
on the cap.
You can also make the axle spikes. All thread will fit through your axle and
find some ends .....such as the spikes to put on each end......you may need
a bushing to fill in the big opening side for a nice snug fit.

Next 2 shown in this pic. Side tag mount cost less than 20.00 including a light.
Bolt covers shown here purchased at pep boys for 7.00 a six pack.

Thanks for the tips. I like the side mount plate. Can you post some more pics of it? How did you wire in the light?

 

[dejablu110]

I used the existing wiring for the tag light on the tail and pulled it through the front of the fender.
You can either use tag lighted bolts or a LED light. I will find another pic.

this is an old pic but it shows the tag and the light is stuck on the tag border
with double sided tape

I noticed you guys have that same ugly rear rotor shield that we do. Cut that bad
boy off to reveal a nice custom looking rotor. its real easy, just take the bolts out,
stick a piece of wood in between the rotor and shield and cut with a dremel in 2
places, remove the pieces and replace the bolts with washers to take up extra
space until you order your replacement bolts. Order the FRONT rotor bolts for a warrior.

Dood! First off, your bike is RAD! ;D

Seriously, nice work! I would love to do something like your fork spikes. A quick Amazon search found me a few options of lugnut covers (which I had never heard of before). They all seem to be 33mm. If I understand correctly, we would have to drill out the inside to make them fit and then glue them on with silicone. Is that right?

It looks like you have the same thing on the top and sides, but something different on the bottom. Right? How do we find/make something like that?

 

[dejablu110]

the bottom ends are the lugnut caps, and you do dremel them out.
The sides are the axle spikes. That is what requires the all thread
to run through the axle and screw any desired ends on the all thread.
The top is actually fork extensions with a spiked cap. I wrapped my fork
in a thick material so you cant see the union of the extension and
original fork tube.

Thanks for info. I cant wait to start modding!
And I agree, your bike is bad a$$!!!

 

[dejablu110]

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff you can do to personalize your bike
yourself, and cheap. Those bolt caps make a big difference too.
Ace hardware has a lot of stuff too.

 

[dejablu110]

ok, another idea for the front axle......instead of the spikes
you can buy some bullet fog lights from wal mart or whatever
store you wish for about 25.00. Run your all thread through
the front axle and put one light on each side of the all thread.
Notice the bullet light in the axle area...

Hey Dawn, what did you use for the side mount license frame? I cant tell in the pic.
I'm going to try to start working on mine. Thanks!

 

[dejablu110]

A piece of 1" wide flat bar, bent with approx. 2 inches to mount in
desired area and approx 10" for the tag.

I had accidentally ordered the wrong spike lug nut covers for my Raider and they're just slightly too small. The outside diamater matches the forks exactly. This weekend I decided to see how they fit the Stryker and they slide right on, so the forks are definitely different on the Stryker.

One issue that you will have to deal with is that there are two bolts on the bottom of the right fork. You will probably need to remove these and drill to holes in the nut covers that allow the bolts to be screwed back in completey.

Unfortunately my wife doesn't want a lot of sharp angles or points on her Stryker, so they will not be going on.

 

[dejablu110]

Thanks ares. I've been studying the stryker as much as I can
to see what can be done to them. Luckily those are really cheap
and there several kinds available.....other than spikes.

Ares, looks like a 240 would fit on one.

 

[ares x]

It helps having one sitting in the garage.

 

[ex11bravo]

Exactly what spike ends are used for the thread rod that goes through the axle? Where can you get them?

 

[dejablu110]

You can look on eBay and use anything imaginable. I know
there's a thread with part numbers...... I will see if I can dig it
up....look up www.imosh.com also. Or Google spikes.

Thanks!
